I don’t want to be part of a broken down culture
one that considers my daughter no more than a breathing incubator
and my mother a drain on society
me…well, I’m useless without a uterus
not that they care about babies…
only their making
let them starve and condemn the mothers
these people who wave their religious rights like flags…
but have no morality
judging others with their shrouded mirrors
operating under the illusion…
if it’s not a problem for them…
it’s just fake news
yeah, I’m color blind…and proud
but I’ve spent my life gagged
by white man’s version of history
I’m done…I see the truth in white
it simply lacks pigmentation…
and refuses to acknowledge its failings
no more intelligent…no more important…
not even really white
…but they will vehemently deny that…
more to the point…it’s not even a color
but an attitude
belief that they’re better than you
lacking in community…they travel in packs
like wild animals
thinking they’re stronger in numbers…
{they’re actually right about that}
stirring shit up wherever they roam
it’s designed to set you against me
upon reflection…
the system isn’t actually broken
it’s working quite perfectly…
exactly as the founding fathers intended
a classist, racist ideology
a “keep them under the boot” mentality
because they really are the minority
and what they are…
is more prone to bullying
violence is an avalanche
it keeps growing the longer it goes
and the most self-righteous…
always seem to wield it the most
bloody crusades they use as excuses
to justify things they always intended to do
so filled with hate…
there’s no room for reason
let’s be honest…
democracy?
not a chance…
welcome to the United States of Hypocrisy
hello beautiful Willow I noticed early on that I would never be good enough for that group my being was picked apart I’ve always been different and God forbid you don’t fit the mold… then I noticed people of another culture who loved their children no matter what they stood behind them…. they took me and showed me unconditional love…for that I am grateful…you know the crazies are always shut out by their own in these kind of minds we don’t count… great write ❤️
Community isn’t always…or often even…made of blood. It’s the souls who welcome each other no matter what they look like or how different they may be. Blood may be thicker than water, but toxic blood is lethal. I don’t believe in fitting in. I believe in filling the space destined only for you and standing side by side with others doing the same. Nobody else has the ability to be you. Or me. I’m glad you found support and compassion, Brenda. It’s very important 🧡
Omg I got chills from this. I can see you on a podium reading this. It stirs the blood and makes one pay attention. Brava;))
I had me a moment here. Played the spoken word for my daughter and she said “Damn, mom! That’s perfect.” That was gold for me. Im too big a chicken to read in front of people, but I thank you, Fia
Mic “Fucking” Drop!!
I believe that might be the shortest comment you’ve ever left on my writing. 😂 And I’ll take it as the statement it is, my friend
First read this offline, we really missed reading you Lady. Tight piece
I’m back. Had to get my head right before I stepped back into the halls, but this is home. Thank you, ME
